ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Why is Hawk giving us inning-by-inning updates of the Yankees/Red Sox game? Why should we care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Only happens to us... basically they bring in Ohman and Bruney equivalents and get our guys out, I certainly can never envision us doing the same in that circumstance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 So is it possible that we have a player break the worst batting average record for a season, as well as another pitcher break the fewest walks per at bat record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This feels like 'the inning.' The one where we all will become quite agitated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapzk Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gameday shows two pitches shoulder/head high, I don't even know if he would accept an IBB, he would swing at those too, never seen a guy so allergic to a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll LMAO if we lose this game, as it would definitely be another game we let get away due to our bonehead manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 If you use the 5-tool grading system for players, would Konerko be the only guy from our starting lineup who is more than one tool? I'd give Konerko the tools of hitting for average and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Morel has 243 at bats and three walks unless he's walked tonight. Can a player improve in regards to drawing walks? If not, I think it's pretty safe to say he will be a bust offensively. You can't have that kind of eye and be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 what a nice start by Mark. I'm sure Oz will leave him in there one hitter too long at some point, but til then, nice job, Mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Oz will leave him in there one hitter too long at some point, but til then, nice job, Mark! He's been just awesome this year. Even if he goes elsewhere after this season, I'm so happy that he'd be going out on a positive note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm glad that was not 'the inning' of doom. Nice job, Mark. I hope our parade of relievers gets the job done tonight. Crain, Sale, Thornton and Sergio. What order will Oz use them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
